Hello! AN will be at the bottom.

Viktor woke up, stretching his arms as he yawned. Getting out of bed, he slowly started his regular morning routine of getting ready for the day. This was a process of brushing his teeth, taking a cold shower like always, and putting on his school uniform. The only difference this time around was that, due to school being closed for the winter, he wore a white, long sleeved shirt and gray sweatpants instead of the usual school outfit. Once ready, he walked to the kitchen, still feeling tired.
"Morning Master! I was just about to go and wake you," Reiri greeted from the living room with a smile.
"Good morning Reiri," Viktor replied softly.
"Breakfast is at the table."
"Thanks," Viktor said, going to the dining table and taking a seat across from Asia, who was quickly eating her own breakfast. Looking at her in curiosity, he let out another yawn. "Morning Asia."
"Morning Viktor!" Asia replied, taking a short pause from devouring her food.
"You shouldn't eat to fast," Viktor reprimanded.
"S-Sorry. Its just that I can't wait to go out and pick a tree and decorations and presents and-"
"Slow down Asia," Viktor said, interrupting her ramblings and chuckling slightly at how excited she looked right now. "What do you mean by going out to get a tree and all those other things you said? What do we need a tree for?"
"Christmas!" Asia exclaimed. "It's in just a couple of days Viktor! We need to pick out our tree and make it look pretty. We also need to get presents for everyone that we know."
"That's true. That's why we need to hurry up and get going so that we can get what's most important right now, which is the tree," Reiri said from the living room.
At this, Viktor tried to think of what he knew of the holiday. Unfortunately, his knowledge was almost nonexistent due to spending his entire life with the P-HDAS. Talking, much less celebrating holidays wasn't something they did. Now that he thought of it, this would be the first time he celebrates any sort of holiday or festival.
"I actually don't know anything about Christmas, or have celebrated any holiday for that matter."
"R-Really!?", Asia said in disbelief, before remembering as to why Viktor didn't know. "Don't worry Viktor! I'll teach you all there is to know about Christmas! Then we can all properly celebrate it together."
To Viktor, it seemed like it would make for an interesting experience. Not only would he get to celebrate something for the first time, but Asia would be his teacher on this journey of his. There was still something that bothered him however, revolving around the only thing he did know. "Asia, that sounds like it'll be fun. The only concern I have is that we and practically everybody else that we know is a Devil. Also, isn't Christmas originally based on some religious thing that happened a long time ago?"
At this, Asia's confident smile partly faltered. Still, the ex-nun knew she couldn't give up. This was a chance for her to not only be able to help Viktor for once, but also be able to get closer to him as well. Yeah, Asia wasn't as naive as everyone thought she was. "I'm sure that Rias will allow us to celebrate it. I mean, it's just a holiday that allows for people to come together and spend quality time as friends and family in merriment. Everyone is allowed to celebrate what they want, right?", Asia questioned nervously.
"That's right! I couldn't have said it better myself Asia," Reiri said happily, making her way to them with a newspaper in her hands. "In fact, why don't we ask them right now? We don't have all day."
"What about the Fallen Angels?" Viktor asked, ignoring his now cold breakfast.
"They went to the Grigori Headquarters and will return in a couple of days. Now, let's go!" Reiri then grabbed Viktor and Asia's arms and dragged them out of the apartment, making their way to the ORC building.
Kuoh Academy was empty due to being closed for break. Still, Rias and Sona were in the old school building in order to finish a couple of miscellaneous things. They weren't expecting company, so they were unprepared when Reiri, wearing her usual maid outfit, burst into the room, dragging a disheveled Asia and a shoeless Viktor.
"W-What are you guys doing her!?" questioned a surprised Rias, eyes wide at the spectacle she was witnessing. "School is out and there are no meetings for us right now."
"We just had a quick question for you," Reiri answered, punishing Asia in front of her so she could explain.
"Buchou, we just wanted to let you know that we were planning on celebrating Christmas, if that's alright with you," Asia said nervously, looking at the floor. Viktor just opted to stay quiet, still not understanding the entire purpose or importance of this celebration. He was more preoccupied with why Reiri didn't wait for him to either put on his shoes or finish his breakfast. He also noticed the subtle looks Sona would give him, looking away each time with a small blush.
"Christmas, huh," Rias muttered as she crossed her arms under her chest, thinking for a moment. "I don't see why not. I think it would be a lot of fun, in fact. Decorating a tree, having a party, opening presents. Maybe we can even do it with your peerage Sona. What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me. Our peerages have been working hard lately. Maybe having a party like this would be a good way to spend our break," Sona agreed, adjusting her glasses.
"Great!" Asia exclaimed, smiling. "We were actually going to go buy a Christmas tree and decorate it! Would you like to join us Buchou, Kaichou?"
"Okay."
"Sure."
"Now, let us hurry and choose the greatest tree ever!" Reiri exclaimed, once again dragging Asia and Viktor, with Rias and Sona awkwardly following them.
Their entire day consisted of going to different places to look for a tree. Viktor didn't know why they wanted to go through all that trouble to buy a tree, but oh well. Each tree they saw was met with various degrees of criticism. It was either too tall or too short or not the right shade of green. After much debating, they finally found the perfect tree. It was medium sized tree that was a dark green, not too wide or skinny.
"Alright, we finally got a tree out of the hundreds of other similar trees. Now what," Viktor asked the group.
"Now we go and buy decorations for the apartment and the tree," Asia answered happily, the others nodding in agreement.
Viktor could only let out a sigh, hoping it wouldn't take that long to look for decorations.
Sadly, it took longer. They went from store to store, getting different types of decorations. As they went through each store, people would occasionally stare at them, most likely due to Viktor not wearing any shoes.
It was almost nighttime when they made it to Viktor's apartment. The Fallen Angels hadn't arrived, so it was just the five of them.
"Alright, so we got all our stuff. I'm guessing we decorate the apartment and tree, correct?" Viktor questioned.
"Yep! C'mon, let's get started!" Asia declared.
"The way I see it, Asia and I should set the tree up. Rias, Sona, and Master can add decorations to the apartment," Reiri ordered, already getting ornaments for the tree out with the help by Asia.
"We have the apartment to decorate. I think we should just decorate where people will usually go to, like them living room and kitchen dining room," Sona suggested.
"Alright. I'll decorate the kitchen and dining room, as it's easier. You and Viktor can decorate the living room," Rias stated with a wink before leaving.
"W-Wait," Sona muttered, brushing a little. She didn't expect Rias to leave her alone with her future husband. In fact, she just realized that she was in his home. It didn't help her blush at all. "A-Alright Viktor, lets start making your apartment look festive."
"I suppose Kaichou," Viktor replied simply.
"Y-You can just call me Sona you know," she said, looking away in embarrassment.
"Okay. Sona it is then."
It was Christmas now. The apartment and tree were beautifully decorated. It looked as if there was actual snow, Christmas lights hanging from the walls. The tree was decorated with shades of silver and blue, which complemented well with each other. It was also the day of the party that they had all planned. Of course, Viktor didn't necessarily agree to it, but whatever. Besides, it might be fun in the long run. He even got dressed up in fancy clothing. The others were also getting ready.
It was in the evening when everyone started to arrive, all dressed up for the occasion. The first to arrive was Rias and her peerage. It was a couple minutes after they arrived when Sona and her peerage showed up.
Once everyone was in the now crowded apartment, they started to talk and have fun. There was a karaoke machine that was set up for those wanting to see who was the better singer. Others decided to watch a movie while eating some sort of snack. Either way, everyone had a fun time.
Towards the end was when everyone started opening presents. Due to. The amount of people, it took a while, but everyone got a meaningful present. Even the Fallen Angels got gifts from the Devils and vice versa. What surprised Viktor was that he got a good amount of gifts. Seeing how he's never received a present, he was filled with excitement in seeing what he got.
After the gift opening, everyone started to leave, which was met with hugs and thanks. Even Yuuto had given Viktor a hug, leaving with a smile.
"So Viktor, What do you think of your first Christmas?" Asia asked as they got ready to go to sleep.
"I thought it was actually pretty fun. I wouldn't mind celebrating it again," he replied.
"That's good! I was hoping you'd say that!" Smiling, Asia was about to go to bed when Viktor stopped her and gave her a hug.
"Thanks Asia. This meant a lot to me."
Blushing, all Asia could do was return the hug, feeling happy at the attention she was receiving. "It's nothing. Just remember that we have a lot more holidays to celebrate, okay?"
"Yeah, I like the sound of that," he agreed, placing a kiss on her forehead.
AN: So this was just a bonus chapter in celebration of Christmas. That's why they are acting nice to Viktor and stuff. Also, its not very descriptive because I sort of rushed it. I planned this chapter to be short, so I apologize. The actual next chapter will be up soon.
I'd also like to thank you guys for all the support! I never would've imagined that my first ever story, with its weird plot that has yet to be fully revealed, would be this popular. 100+ reviews, almost 80 followers, 61 favorites, and 22.6k views! Damn!

San- Thanks!
TakenashiIsntREA- Yes and thanks for letting me know. I write this on my phone, so I can't always check any errors. I do hope to go back when I have time and fix these errors in my chapters. Also, thanks for the offer.
Guest- I always intended to make my story twisted. I felt like it would be different than the other stories for this series. In fact, my other DxD stories are also dark.
